That is *one* of my problems, nowhere I said that that was my only
issue, and certainly I have many more important criteria to select a
web browser.

As others have pointed out, FF 'customizability' is a joke, to change
anything is a pain, often you need to use dozens of extensions which
often conflict with each other and it is all pain and misery even for
something as pathetically simple as providing minimally non-braindead
keybindings.

I have no clue what this is supposed to mean, and please stop refering
to GNU/Linux, it hurts my brain, unless you are RMS...

God help us, vim has got one of the most atrociously insanely awful
user interfaces ever conceived by man. The thin has got so many
fucking options that it could fill a whole encyclopedia, I doubt any
single person knows and understands the function of even 5% of all the
options and commands.
Vim is a textbook example of how *never* *ever* design a program's
user interface.
